Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics won’t be nearly enough to control AI. Robots of Dawn cover by Michael Whalen It was hailed as the most significant test of machine intelligence since Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in chess nearly 20 years ago. Google’s AlphaGo has won two of the first three games against grandmaster Lee Sedol in a Go …

Humans only live aboard the International Space Station for a few months, maybe a year. Robots, on the other hand, don’t need food or water or comfort, and can work on the station for as long as need be. Useful! And they’ll be even more useful with a new method of memory storage that can store years of information. They’ll …

Most smartphones appear to have almost the similar design these days. But Japan-based Sharp Technologies have come out with a robotic smartphone to stand out in the crowd. Known as RoBoHoN, this Android-based smartphone comes with a camera, a projector, a mic and an LCD screen which is incorporated on the back of this tiny robot. The 20-centimetres-tall RoBoHoN is …

Phone booths are disappearing. Kids nowadays don’t even know what it is when they are looking at one. But this booth in Prairie Grove, Arkansas is one of the last remaining specimens of a passing era, and just has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. When’s the last time you’ve used one of these relics? As Smithsonian …

When you’re trying to convince photographers that an $11,000 camera lens is a worthy investment, sometimes you need more than a list of specs. So Canon created a short stop-motion video of its EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM lens disassembling itself and revealing all of its wonderfully complicated internal components.

The on-going tech show has lifted curtain off some innovative consumer technology products and Intel’s Segway Robot is one of them. This robot by Intel, which can also be used as a hoverboard, has been built in …

There are already machines out there equipped with good pressure sensors, but those sensors are rarely sensitive or durable enough to make the machines as useful as humans at performing fine motor tasks. A new kind of graphene “skin” could change that, making it possible to create touch-sensitive robotic hands or even whole robotic medical assistants. Using this graphene skin, …

This quirk of biology may one day give us robots that can amplify and locate sounds without requiring any energy to do so. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have solved a longstanding bio-physical question. …
